Chapter 72 A Flower in a Mirror and a Moon in the Water (Eighth Update, Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

"I never thought I'd actually do it..."

Genichi under the tree raised his hand to touch his right eye.

Although I'm not very skilled yet.

Moreover, Genichi realized that this was related to his mastery of the Word Technique and the All-Word Technique.

"The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul, and the human eye is the window to the soul. By making eye contact, one can cast illusions and get straight to the core."

"This is probably the reason why Sharingan genjutsu often requires someone else to break it."

Sensing the power contained within his right eye, Genichi Shushita was secretly delighted: "I must make good use of this power and integrate it with my own illusion abilities."

"I'm sure I'll have an amazing performance then. My illusion skills will definitely be greatly enhanced, and the effect will be far greater than 1+1=2."

At this moment, Yamanaka En on the opposite side was panting heavily.

He finally broke free from Xuan Yi's golden binding technique under the tree.

If this were on a battlefield, he would have died countless times already.

"With the Sharingan, this guy's genjutsu abilities have become even stronger."

Yamanaka En was shocked.

Genichi's illusions were already very powerful, but now they're even more terrifying.

No hand seals are needed, or even eye contact is required; the enemy can be struck by the spell without even realizing it.

Moreover, the accuracy of the illusion has also improved significantly.

In previous training and battles, Genichi Shushita's Golden Binding Technique did not have such precision.

"Xuanyi, let's go again!"

Shan Zhongyan shouted loudly, putting himself on high alert.

Genichi chuckled under the tree: "Alright!"

Whoosh~
Yamanaka En raised his hand and sent two shuriken flying toward Genichi's eyes under the tree. He also disappeared from his original spot in an instant, moving to the left and rushing toward Genichi under the tree.

As Genichi dodged the shuriken and turned around, Yamanaka En had already closed in.

Suddenly, Yamanaka En, who was charging forward, fell headfirst and slid a distance on the ground, appearing at Genichi's feet under the tree.

Ok?
Under the tree, Xuan Yi raised an eyebrow and immediately leaped backward. Shan Zhongyan, who had been lying down, suddenly sprang to his feet, delivered a flying kick, and shouted with a laugh, "Xuan Yi, don't underestimate me!"

Bang!
Genichi's body was kicked to pieces, and water splashed everywhere.

"Water body!"

"When?"

Shan Zhongyan was startled; he hadn't noticed Xuan Yi forming a hand seal under the tree.

At that moment, Genichi's voice came from the left: "Yan, how did you break the illusion in an instant? Was it the Mind Transfer Technique?"

Yamanaka En turned around and chuckled, "Xuan Yi, your reaction is really quick."

"It is indeed a mind transfer technique. The talisman set in advance can transfer one's mental consciousness into the body of the target locked by the talisman within the field of vision."

Genichi Shushita was slightly taken aback: "You don't have any pets at home, do you?"

Yamanaka En shrugged, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Summoning beasts aren't that easy to use."

"Moreover, ordinary pets are easier to control; they can be kept in cages and used whenever needed."

"Actually, this is a clumsy way of dealing with illusions that I came up with after spending a lot of time with that guy Langyi."

It turned out to be the case.

Genichi Kishita suddenly remembered that one of Danzo's guards at the Five Kage Summit was a ninja from the Yamanaka clan.

Using pre-set talismans, he trapped Ao of Kirigakure inside a straw doll using the Mind Transfer Technique.

This is similar to what Yamanaka En is currently using.

"It seems you used a technique of the 'not here' type on me from the beginning, making me overlook the fact that you had already formed hand seals."

Yamanaka En looked around and then smiled at Genichi under the tree, saying, "Am I in an illusion now too?"

“It’s very realistic, but Xuan Yi, my mind is very sharp, and I still sensed something was wrong.”

"By the way, what kind of illusion is this?"

"It's not that illusion technique you're trying to develop, is it?"

When was it completed?

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "It's a new technique, just completed, and being used for the first time." "It's called... Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"

The new technique was originally just one step away from completion, but after obtaining the Sharingan, that final step was naturally skipped.

Of course, it's only a preliminary work and still a bit rough.

Yamanaka En watched Genichi under the tree speak so casually, but couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Mirror Flower, Water Moon... You bastard, do you have to say it so easily? It's really making me jealous!"

Having said that, he threw out his shuriken again as a feint, then seized the opportunity to approach Xuan Yi under the tree.

This time, Genichi smiled and did not dodge the shuriken, letting himself be pierced by it. Then, with a splash, his body turned into a puddle of water and scattered.

"Another water clone?"

Yamanaka En frowned: "No, it's an illusion!"

"It's all an illusion."

Yamanaka En turned to look at the reappearing Shushita Genichi, then put a finger in his mouth.

Click!

My finger was bitten and the stinging pain was very stimulating.

However, nothing has changed.

This move failed to break the illusion.

Yamanaka En immediately realized that his body was probably an illusion, and the pain was a tactile hallucination.

"You rascal, the technique you just completed, although I saw through its flaws and the manipulation of the five senses wasn't quite as refined and perfect as it could be, the overall framework of this technique is extremely profound."

Yamanaka En looked helplessly at Genichi under the tree: "I can't think of a way to undo this spell."

“I think even if I use the method I used to break the illusion, it probably won’t work; it will still be part of the illusion.”

Xuan nodded under the tree.

The next moment, Yamanaka En saw the whole world shake, distort, and then shatter.

When he opened his eyes again, Yan found himself back in reality. There were water stains on the ground, left by his water clones.

He looked up at Xuan Yi under the tree in front of him and said, "Mirror Flower, Water Moon, I fell into the illusion the moment I shattered your water clone, didn't I?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "That's right."

The principle behind the illusion of "flower in a mirror and moon in water" is very simple.

The moment the water clone was shattered, countless splashing water droplets reflected the vast world, forming an extremely realistic illusion just like the battle scene.

This technique is extremely secretive, and the enemy is often unaware that they have been under an illusion. All subsequent actions take place within the illusion reflected in the water droplets.

Of course, in a waterless environment, when all the water droplets fall to the ground, it means that the illusion is automatically dispelled.

This period of time is not long.

So it wasn't that Genichi Kishita actively dispelled the illusion just now, but rather that the illusion dispelled itself, and the illusion collapsed on its own.

Genichi Shushita and En Yamanaka had a long conversation in the illusion, but it was very short in reality.

Even so, in actual combat, this is enough to determine the outcome.

And this is only in a waterless environment.

Genichi Kishita's fighting style often involves using water-based techniques to create a watery environment.

If the water droplets that the water clones transform into fall into the water, the illusion continues.

There's not even a need to use water clones to cast this illusion.

The enemy, standing on the water, or even just reflected in the water created by Genichi under the tree, would be unknowingly struck by the spell.

Yamanaka En also realized this, and after a slight change in expression, he exclaimed in amazement, "What an exquisite illusion technique! You really are... an absolute genius of illusion techniques."

"Such an illusion technique must be at least A-level difficulty, right?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Grade A."

However, what he didn't mention was that this technique had only just been developed and was not yet fully realized.

Therefore, it is grade A.

If it is fully completed, it will be classified as S-level.

However, there's no need to say that, lest it hurt Yamanaka En.

The next update is estimated to be after midnight, so don't wait up, check back tomorrow.
